| - Nice pool.
Relaxing lazy river.
Wave pool.
Beach volleyball (on actual sand).
The Monte Carlo pool is available to both Monte Carlo and NYNY hotel guests. The pool itself is somewhat small, but big enough to splash around. The lazy river is a great way to cool off and still relax. If you actually want to feel like you are in real water instead of a kiddie pool, the wave pool is pretty nice. And for a real game of beach volleyball, there is an area covered in sand set up just for that purpose.
You can rent an inter-tube for $10 for the day for the lazy river (although it is cheaper if you rent for multiple days). As is usual in Vegas, there is a full bar at the pool - but they also keep two large water dispensers at the pool that are infused with a hint of orange - very nice and refreshing. The bar also has a direct entrance to The Pub sports bar (foozball, pool, Ms PacMan, plenty of TVs showing a variety of sporting events, full bar, and sports bar food) if you want to get out of the sun for a spell. There is also a small shop directly off the pool in case you run out of sunscreen, would like a bottle of soda you can actually close, need some advil, or your bikini strap breaks and you need a new bathing suit ASAP.
There are better pools in the world, but if you want to spend at least one day of your Vegas vacation lounging in the sun, but keeping cool and avoiding utter boredom, this pool is a great place to be.
